The EULA part is the fishy one, since EULAs are not valid in most of the World - sellers can't just after the sale force a change of the implicity contract which is the sale itself (worse, refuse to provide access to the functionality of purchased software after the buyer has fullfilled their part of the contract) so EULAs legally mean nothing except (apparently) in a handful of US states.

The only "licensing conditions" that legally apply here are the ones agreed between seller and buyer before the sale - determining by payment having been given and accepted - not after the sale.

(Online services get away with TOS changes because it's an ongowing service rather than a product sale, so the rules are different).
